2. Also the Gronk one game suspension

He took multiple steps and brought his elbow pad down on a defenseless player who was laying on his stomach. Gronk hit the player at the back of the head and neck area - one of the most dangerous places to strike an opponent. Even MMA doesn't allow you to hit there. The player was laying already out of bounds and he had been touched by one of Gronk's teammates.

Gronk even admitted that he struck the player because he did not get a pass interference call.

One game. You wonder what it would have taken for two games.

By the way I absolutely hate the Steelers. I am somewhat agnostic towards the Patriots. I know Gronk is supposed to be a "good" guy, but one game? What would it have taken to get two games?
